In author belief the University should bring some value added in to discussions taking place in Poland on the Jewish matter. They often roll around the evaluation’s fault and aim at pronouncing a symbolic sentence. Unfortunately they resemble an argument court, had at establishing in general, that when somebody is making a profit, somebody else is losing it. Meanwhile the University isn’t a court, especially isn’t a historical court. Justifying or accusing isn’t our role. Identifying the phenomenon is our role (at least a truth often very diagnosis is providing one of staying pages in the dispute with arguments). Understanding the phenomenon and assisting understanding are further lines through other. We aren’t allowed to repeat neither of the most widespread theses only because are frequent, neither we should not be driven by an aspiration to defense of the dignity or/and national pride. For moral reasons the college community should protest in case of universally recognized phenomena too reprehensible, but delivering to information is her basic task, of knowledge, and straightening out means of thinking towards the meaning — even if in the arts the result in the huge scope will always remain diverse.

This text is a methodological rather than a 'research-based' reaction to the article by F. Cermak, P. Sgall and P. Vybiral (2005). Its central topic is constituted by a detailed survey of individual statements in the article. In many cases, these statements are shown to be in conflict with empirical facts (mainly with corpus evidence) or, even worse, with each other. In the final section, the current paper argues for either producing valid, consistent, and, last but not least, new argumentation in the discussion called for, or for dropping the idea altogether, since it might otherwise endanger the scientific level of Slovo a slovesnost. The appendix presents a list of relevant literature which must be considered, should the discussion take place.

The author agrees with the need to discuss the problems surrounding the functional stratification of contemporary Czech expressed in the article by F. Cermak, P. Sgall and P. Vybiral (2005). He requests that this discussion take place with maximum effort made to achieve theoretical precision, within a framework of possibilities without a priori ideologizing and in a truly dialogic manner. In this sense, the author provides several suggestions. Above all it is necessary for the differences of opinion originating from varying interpretations of Czech national history to be mutually elucidated, but it is especially necessary to clarify the mutual relationship between the differing methodological points of departure from a purely linguistic perspective. If we are to substitute the previously existing traditional conceptual schemes based on the term 'iterary language' with a scheme centered around the term 'standard', it is necessary to do so in a thorough, consistent and structured manner.

In the early 1980s the Union of Slovak Writers witnessed an attempt to hold more discourse-oriented discussions. The article views them against a background of three time horizons – from the perspective of real free democratic discussion after 1989, against a background of the polemics and discussions of the 1960s tending towards free discussion, although not exceeding the contemporary limits of „Socialism with a Human Face“, and against a background of inferior discourse situation in the 1970s. Viewing the critical discussion about the collection of short stories Náprstok (Thimble, 1985) by Dušan Dušek, which took place at the Union of Slovak Writers and was published in the magazine Romboid (1986/6), well demonstrates the contemporary limits of the critical discussions in the 1980s hardly being more than just attempts at decanonized reconfirmation of the notion Socialist Realism.

This essay is a reaction to Roman Goettlicher's article Communication, Silence and Speech in Christianity (2003). It aims to show that Goettlicher does not provide just cause to deduce the insufficiency of natural language and the superiority of silence, as the article's concluding passages state. In addition, the article's indirect criticism of the Linguistic Turn and related appeal for a turn away from language is an unsuitable approach to the context of this philosophical scheme as well as to paragraph 7 of Wittgenstein's Tractatus. The author argues that a) in communication, silence cannot be conceived as a sign above natural language because the two are complementary - silence acquires meaning only in relation to verbal response, b) claiming the insufficiency of natural language is a question of religious disposition and is not supported by any linguistic arguments in Goettlicher's article, c) the Linguistic Turn has actually helped to reveal the role of natural language in our conception of the world, and natural language has become an essential basis for philosophical exploration, and d) Goettlicher's use of citations from Wittgenstein's Tractatus is not well-founded, because Wittgenstein addresses problems in describing the world using language, not the sufficiency of language for communication with God.

In Physics II. 4-6 Aristotle deals with the technical concept of chance. Here a number of specific characteristics are ascribed to the chance happenings. At the same time, in his biological works Aristotle presents his notorious theory of ‘spontaneous generation’. Most scholars assume that this theory ought to be in line with the doctrine of chance, as this is presented in his Physics. It is clear, however, that spontaneous generation lacks (at least some of) the features a chance happening ought to have. For instance, spontaneity is not unusual. Here the author ś purpose is to address the exegetical problem at hand, in particular to sketch out an argument according to which the discrepancy between Aristotle’s doctrine of chance and his theory of spontaneous generation is merely an apparent one.

This paper recalls difficulties in the functional and social stratification of Czech and the codification of its literary norm. These difficulties make it necessary to discuss the possibility of a transition from the current post-purist viewpoint to a more realistic and liberal one. The point is to abandon the unavailing efforts at a sharp specification of 'literary' morphemic forms and to aim for an approach which works with a gradual division of standard and non-standard phenomena, viewed as a rich cline of functionally diversified forms. This theoretical approach may reveal that informal discourse in Czech also has its standard even though it includes frequent oscillation between items from different registers. It is a substantial task to apply this approach in education, where bookish forms are still currently required in communicative situations for which bookish style is inappropriate.

Democracy is a discussion, a thought formulated by the first Czechoslovak president TGM that is now taken as a common knowledge. In the EU there is currently one of the main topics for discussion a fear of negative impacts of Muslim migration on the law and freedoms of the Europeans. The Czech president Miloš Zeman has taken this topic as a crucial and struggles to use it to unify the local civic public. This president who himself takes negative attitude towards refugees must face a fact that not a small group of Czech citizens does not consider them only as a threat. In this situation the president escalates an urgency of his own warning communications while at the same time discredit opinions of a minority and also people expressing them. It is by this practice that he increases a danger of a realization of the tyranny of the majority in the Czech environment. As for the other pathological phenomenon that can occur in real democracy, the best cure against the tyranny of the majority is an open discussion among citizens itself. It presumes and at the same time supports their mutual respect. Democracy has risen from the discussion based on the mutual respect of people and contains an autoimmunity system that protects it everywhere where it hasn’t forgotten its roots.

The commentary presents a critical view of the project set up by a Polish psychologist in order to, among other things, call public attention to certain issues related to pseudoscience. We took a closer look into the author’s actions in order to answer the question: was another hoax really necessary? Our reply is: no. In this paper, we explain why it was redundant and even harmful. We also suggest an alternative method of achieving the author’s goals. Besides, we focus on negative aspects of the project: unnecessarily violating ethics, employing an erroneous methodology, acting for personal reasons, attacking colleagues during public discussions and performing an unfounded critique of scientific methodology applied in modern psychology. All of the above could possibly result in a decrease of people’s trust in academic psychology which could even lead patients to attend a shaman instead of a professional psychotherapist.
